Re: Glenn Beck launches online University

Seems to me like propaganda with a university label. I would be just as opposed to this if Olberman set up some online university. I think this university would teach only some information and leave out "inconvenient truths" to the ideology they want to promote. They would be teaching you information to shape and mold your opinion, not to educate you on the facts and leave it up to personal interpretation of what is right and correct/most logical politically.

Re: Glenn Beck launches online University

Strangely I'm alright with this. I really don't have that much of a problem with Beck. He gets some things wrong, and jumps to conclusions a little to soon or with to little info but overall I think Beck is an okay guy. He does get a little preachy but if you listen to him he will usually tell you to go do your own research and to view things from both sides (even though many a time he fails to take his own advice, however, he acknowledges that he is one side though and says that you should go listen to the other). Basically I view him as a Right-Wing leader who tells people to go view all the other angles while he preaches his own philosophy.

Sadly many of his followers are closed minded individuals. And sometimes he is a bit closed minded as well. But I would say that he isn't any worse then Colbert or similar pundits.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people don't get this.

You know, they’re standing there with no clothes. ‘Is everybody OK?’ And you see these incredible looking women, and so I sort of get away with things like that.”

I bet Beck has got wads of cash that he throws onto his bed, rolls around on while laughing at all of the ****ing idiots who buy all of his bull****.
